Lastly, they are adapting the English language young adult novels Sherrilyn Kenyon's Chronicles of Nick and Cassandra Clare's The Infernal Devices trilogy. The former will be under the title "Dark-Hunters: Infinity" and will begin in the online Yen Plus magazine next fall. HyeKyung Baek will be adapting the latter, with the first book of which shipping next fall.

The synopsis for both of the OLE stuff is as follows:

Chronicles of Nick, a YA prequel to Kenyon's immensely popular Dark-Hunter novels, reveals the path of a young Nick Gautier and the circumstances that led him to become the man with whom readers first became familiar in Kenyon's earlier books.

The Infernal Devices, a standalone trilogy set within the universe of [Clare's] immensely popular The Mortal Instruments series, is the story of Tessa Gray, a sixteen-year-old American girl traveling alone to Victorian London who runs afoul of the city's sordid supernatural underworld. Rescued by the Shadowhunters of the London Institute, Tessa quickly finds herself caught up in an intrigue that may very well destroy her new friends – including the two enigmatic young men, Jem and Will, who have taken her under their wing…
 
They also licensed Until Death Do Us Part from Gangan Comics

Until Death Do Us Part is something that sounds interesting and I like the look of the art for Nagato Yuki-chan it seems more mature to its parent series and it's spin offs possibly due to it being a Seinen
